Inspirion 8000 purchased in June 2001. I'm pretty sure now that I do have USB 2. Just installed a new Iomega CDR and it burned at the 40x rate which is what it quoted on the box if it was connected via a USB 2, vs only 4x if USB 1.1. I just didn't realize it was.

Yes that's correct, it has to be USB2 then. I had an external (usb) burner and it could only write at 4x from USB 1.1 (it could read at about 7x so that was the data limit). On USB2 it could both read and write at 48x.
